Iron and Steel industries, raw materials are mostly transported, through the railway rakes.The railway provides some stipulated free time, for unloading the rakes and charges a penalty for the delay beyond the free time. This penalty charge increases the cost of the final products. This paper discusses the mechanical failure problem, which is the major cause of the delay in the unloading process, using Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and Failure Mode Effect and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), to find the critical component of the failure, which helps the management to minimize the breakdowns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
